New Oculus Logo

Virtual reality has come a long way since Oculus started in 2012. That progress is a direct result of you – the community of developers, creators, and believers who have been on this journey with us since the start.

As we take another step toward true consumer virtual reality and next-generation VR gaming, we’re excited to share an evolution of the Oculus logo with you today:

We’ve just updated Oculus.com with this new logo, and you’ll see it begin to flow across the rest of Oculus in the next few weeks. We hope you like the design as much as we do.

Bundled with a controller that's only compatible with Windows 10 at the consumers cost, a very bad sign for the open VR device they've preached about for years.

I had a DK1 and enjoyed playing around with it, but this new Rift is more a platform than a peripheral, it's fragmenting a market that doesn't even exist yet. Look forward to this thing only supporting games bought through their store.

It's a more niche audience than Nintendo's general target audience but there's still a massive market for VR tech and those interested in it, as already demonstrated by the popularity of some of the already existing products in Japan. As it is not many will likely jump on the first iteration of it all and only if it's affordable but to think that there's not a market for this is just plain stupid.
